A question for all Spyder owners.

[SpyderByter]

A big yes !

I put 15 thousand miles on it last year, and loved every minute. hyea:

The only thing I would have done differently is wait for a better deal. I bought when demand was high, before the were any incentives or ability to deal. So I paid full price, prep, frieght, etc. and ended up waiting until November to actually get it anway. Had I waited until 2009 I may have saved a few grand, when people were selling low miliage Spyders at a loss. There was a niclely customised Spyder on sale in this forum I would have snappped up if I had not already purchased. So the loss in value over a year from 18 grand to about 10 hit hard.

Besides that, my dealer has been great and the machine has had minimal problems for the amount I use it.

When I bought mine the only gripe on the forum was the squeaky brakes.
If I had read all this stuff before I got mine, I wouldn't have gotten it.
Fortunately, I got it.:thumbup:
And have had no problems ever since.

No question . . . .

. . . . yes I would.

It has been about a year now. A few issues ( steering, being the big one ) but, with a new service shop and BRP standing behind their product - everything got fixed fast, less than a week over Christmas.

Really, this thing is the most fun and enjoyment I have ever had on wheels.

Definitely

I definitely would have. I'm with the others, a new concept design takes awhile to iron out the bugs. I usually wait on vehicles until a year or so has passed so that the bugs can get ironed out, but in this case, everything just came together so I bought.

Going back in time, knowing about the steering, YEP, would of still bought. And am having a blast....also steering seems to be fixed. Haven't had a problem in the last 200 or so miles.

I like the concept, but not the "solutions" BRP has come up with when dealing with the various issues many people have had with their rides. Would I have purchased one knowing what I do now....probably not.

In a word, yes!
But as my father used to tell me: "I trust you but I watch you." RIP

YMMV,
